Switch Material ID cannot be animated

V-Ray V-Ray for Blender Issues
1

Hi everyone,

In Vray for Max I was used to batch process multiple materials through a VraySwitch Material with an animated SwitchID. In Blender I cannot keyframe this attribute directly nor can I drive it by a custom variable.

Any ideas?

Hi, at the moment, the Switch ID allows only textures, but we have it on our list of things we want to support: allowing integer values to be used directly in both the Switch material and the Multi-Sub Texture.

For the moment you can connect another texture an animate it, for example with a V-Ray Float

Hi @bozhidar_ivanov , controlling the ID with an animated float “texture” is already a perfect solution. Many thanks!
